K-Pop is a plastic wilderness, its assembly line overgrowth roughly two decades wide. Dare enter and you'll soon be lost in the thickets of idiomatic dogma[1], hourly[2]-updating[3] pop[4] charts[5], daily[6]Top of the Pops[7]-style[8] TV[9] countdowns[10], regularly changing[11] faces[12], absurd choreography[13] and video sets[14], inside baseball terminology[15], athletically swift media cycles[16], Korea's culturally fundamental age hierarchy[17], and on...

I think you know by now that whenever I'm going through a dry spell with reviews and my writing, the person I go to for inspiration and help is my good friend-slash-amazing writer-slash-long-lost twin, Ree (who's back writing for SeoulBeats!).

When I found out that the new SHINee tracks were out, I was practically tripping over myself trying to scramble home as fast as I could - I even considered skipping fro-yo for them!
